Lawyers for Catastrophic Injuries in Accidents and Other Situations in Largo, Maryland

During people's everyday lives, they may encounter situations where their safety may be at risk. While some people may be able to take steps to avoid being injured, there are many cases where accidents can happen without warning or where a person will have no way to prevent an injury. The negligence of another person can inflict devastating harm on a person and their family.

Determining how to respond to these incidents can be difficult, especially when dealing with medical treatment or disabilities. Fortunately, injury victims do not have to handle these matters alone. At Farmer & Klopfer, our lawyers can provide the legal help needed to ensure that serious injuries will be addressed correctly. We can handle every aspect of a personal injury claim, including investigating an accident or injury, identifying the person or parties who were responsible, and advocating for full and fair compensation that will address our client's damages.

Situations Where Serious Injuries Can Occur

Personal injury claims can address a wide range of circumstances in which negligence caused people to suffer harm. Our team works with clients to address injuries caused by:

• Car Accidents: Negligent drivers can cause serious harm when they violate traffic laws or drive unsafely. Issues such as tailgating, aggressive lane changes, illegal turns, red light violations, speeding, and distracted driving may be addressed in personal injury claims.
• Commercial Truck Accidents: Large trucks that are involved in collisions can cause severe harm to people in other vehicles. Truck accident cases may involve multiple people or companies who share liability, but our attorneys can help ensure that these parties will be held responsible for our clients' injuries.
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents: People on foot may be severely injured when they are struck by vehicles. Cyclists can also suffer serious harm when riding on or near the road, including in accidents involving illegal passing, unsafe turns, or dooring. Drivers who do not yield to pedestrians in the road or do not share the road safely with bicycles may be held liable for causing accidents and injuries.
• Rideshare and delivery vehicle accidents: Drivers working for Uber, Lyft, or similar services may cause accidents that could injure their passengers, people in other vehicles, or pedestrians. Amazon delivery drivers or people working for other delivery companies may cause accidents due to distraction or fatigue. In these cases, our lawyers can help determine whether the companies involved may be held liable.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners may be held liable for accidents that occur because of their failure to maintain safe conditions in locations such as grocery stores, parking garages, or apartment complexes. These accidents may involve issues such as hazardous floors, broken stairs, inadequate lighting, or other dangerous conditions.
• Negligent Security: Owners of businesses, apartment complexes, and other properties are required to protect the safety of visitors, including providing security to help prevent crimes. When known security risks have been ignored, and a person suffers harm due to assault or another crime, a property owner may be held responsible.
• Swimming Pool Accidents: Pool owners who fail to install or maintain fences, provide supervision for swimmers, make sure drains and other equipment are functioning correctly, or take other steps to protect people's safety may be held liable for accidents that result in drowning or other serious injuries.
• Dog Bites: Pet owners can be held liable in many dog bite cases. Animal attacks can lead to serious physical injuries and psychological harm, and owners may be required to compensate victims for their damages.
• Medical Malpractice: Misdiagnoses, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and forms of negligence by medical professionals can cause harm to patients. Our attorneys can make sure the proper requirements are met to hold providers responsible for medical negligence.
• Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: Residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities may suffer harm due to physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, or other forms of negligence. Our lawyers can address injuries related to medication errors, falls, bedsores, malnutrition, improper medical care, lack of supervision, and other forms of negligence in nursing homes.
• Defective Products: Manufacturers or other companies who allow dangerous products to be sold may be held accountable when design flaws, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings cause serious injuries. Our attorneys can address injuries involving toys, appliances, tools, vehicles, medical devices, or other products that were defective.
• Wrongful Death: When negligence causes a person's death, family members may be eligible for compensation that will address their financial losses, loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and other damages. Our lawyers know how to help families secure the compensation they deserve as they deal with the wrongful deaths of loved ones.
